They were fortunate in having plen. ty of room, lack of which so seriously interfered with the display at Meriden, the four, if we mistake not, occupying n larger space than the 13 which were repre- sented at the s..,te fair. Ellington grunge is much the largest, and had tho advantage of previous experience, and its imposing display deservedly won the first prize. The obelisk to Pomona was an exceeding ly graceful and artistic piece of work, and the tributes to Ceres and Flora but little inferior, while these were supplemented with a general display in full harmony with these special efforts. Yet it is only just to the smaller granges to say that in proportion to their membership they were not inferior to their larger sister. Tol- land grange showed some specially delicate and artistic work, and there were features of the other grange exhibits worthy of ex- tended notice.
 There was a creditable showing of fruit outside the grange display, and much of it was of remarkable fine quality Conn. Farmer.

She was so destitute that she had been unable to provide clothing for her newborn babe, and was even unable to buy the medicine which kind-hearted doctor had prescrib. ed. Mir. Armour gave him $25 and sent him on his way rejoicing, but was much surprised few hours later when the cler- gyman returned and handed him his mon- ey, saying that he had found, to his regret, that the child had been born out of we'd lock, and was, therefore unworthy of his charity. Mir. Armour was at first surpris- ed, and then nearly lost his temper. He called one of his clerks aud told him to sec that the clergyman left his office and never returned He then sent to his own house and directed that everything which wom- an in this poor woman's condition needed should be sent to her at once, and that the supply should be continued till she wns able to look out for herself. My informant says that Mrs Armour took the case in hand and looked after it until no further assistance was needed"
